166 $ 222-223. Like other adjectives, the bahuvrihis may be used as adverbs, when put in the accus. of the neuter sin- gular, see 240. 223. From a syntactic point of view, the bahuvrîhi, it Its mem- bers are to may be made up of three, four or more elements, does contain but two members, virtually identical with the and sub subject and the predicate of a full sentence, just be called predicate ject. as the tatpurusha represents a main noun with its at- tribute. And, as within the tatpurusha the attribute is put at the head and the main noun behind (210), The predi- so within the bahuvrihi the predicate precedes, the cate des, the subject is the latter member. When analyzing f. i. Bubject is the latter the bahuvrîhi Halala: we get the clause member. „he whose strength is great," similarly at a: a „he whose colour is like the sun's,' Udled-utdelud: is an epithet of somebody, whose eyes are fixed on the earth dd Hud aizd. In these examples, the words a, a, A are the subjects within the bahuvrîhis, that which precedes them being the predicates. 9 In treating of the tatpurushas we have distinguished between 1. the karmadhârayas, 2. those the former mem- uf: = - = fa end of a ta of a diere end agaite: etc. Nevertheless, in analyzing even intricate bahuvrîhis it will appear that, lo- gically, there are but two membera predicate and subject either or both of which may be compounds themselves, even if it would not always be allowed to use such compounds by themselves as separate words. Pånini himself knows a class of compounds only allowed for the sake of being need as the former part of other compounds" [P. 2, 1, 51].
